Chapter 1057: Where God Breaks His Whip (2)(2/2)
The scourge of God.”
The whip of God? No one here understood what the whip of God was. However, since General Wang said so, he would not lie to everyone.
The muzzles of the five cannons in the fortress are facing the northwest of Diaoyu City, waiting quietly.
Afterwards, Xia Pingan left the turret, came to the top arrow tower, and looked towards the west.
To the northwest of Diaoyu City, there is a hill called Ma'anshan. At this moment, the Mongolian army is building on the hill of Ma'anshan.
The observatory building is being built so that one can observe the situation in the Diaoyu City. The observatory tower is almost completed. The mast on the tower has been erected and final reinforcements are being made. The five thunder cannons in the turret below the arrow tower are
Facing there, everything is under Xia Pingan's control.
On the tower here, Xia Ping'an arranged for a few people with good eyesight to keep an eye on the situation at the Ma'anshan Observation Tower opposite here every day.
If there is any movement, report it immediately.
Xia Pingan himself even lived under the blockhouse so that he could respond quickly at any time.
Wang Dechen's body was sent to the Chinese army camp of the West Route Army after dark. Looking at Wang Dechen's body, he has been in the middle camp.
Meng Ge Khan in the military camp was extremely sad and furious.
"Trouble the city, give me the day to slaughter the Diaoyu City. I must make sure that no chickens or dogs are left in Diaoyu City. Kill them all. Kill them all."
Khan Mengge was furious at the generals in his tent, venting his anger, "After tomorrow, I will order the vanguard army to step up the attack on the city. I must see Wang Jian's head in my tent."
middle."
As expected, the Mongolian vanguard army outside the city just rested for a day. On the second day, they swarmed up in darkness again and began to besiege Diaoyu City.
Diaoyu City, on the other hand, took its time and calmly responded to the command of the generals who defended the city, and drove back the Mongolian vanguard army time and time again.
After each attack, the Mongolian army that attacked the city took nothing away except corpses.
After a few days of this, Xia Ping'an had people wrap two thirty kilograms of large fresh fish raised in the "Tianchi" in the city and more than a hundred steamed flour cakes in straw mats, and use a trebuchet to throw them to the Mongolian army outside the city.
In front of the battle, he left a letter to Khan Meng Ge. The letter contained only one line written by Xia Ping'an himself: "No matter how hard you attack for ten more years, you still won't be able to capture Diaoyu City, hahaha - Wang Jian!"
Not long after this letter was posted, it was placed in front of Meng Ge Khan's desk. Looking at the arrogant handwriting on the letter, Meng Ge Khan felt that each word was like a slap in the face, making his
My face is burning.
The Mongol Empire's army swept across the world, and it had never suffered such humiliation.
For the first time, Mengge Khan wavered. The situation of the West Route Army at this moment was actually not optimistic, because the army had been blocked by Diaoyu City for several months and could no longer meet up with the other two armies at EZ on time. The heat in Sichuan was unbearable, and Jiang
The humidity in the area was heavy, and the Mongols were originally afraid of heat and humidity, and were not accustomed to the climate, which led to the epidemic of heat stroke, malaria, cholera and other diseases in the army. Many soldiers fell down in the military camp before they even attacked the city.
The situation is quite serious. In addition, the siege of the city failed, the commander died in the battle, and the morale of the vanguard army was already low.
Meng Ge Khan's eyes passed through the tent and looked in the direction of Diaoyu City. It felt like there was an invisible giant beast there, devouring his ambition and his prestige in the entire empire.
The Mongolian army has laid waste to all the countries on the mainland. There are more kings and monarchs who have prostrated before him than there are eunuchs in his palace. How could the army he led stop in front of this small fishing city?
"I want to see how indestructible the Diaoyu City is!" Meng Ge Khan slapped the table hard with his palm, gritting his teeth.
A few days later, Mongolian Khan personally came to the vanguard army. Surrounded by the generals, he came to the observation tower of the vanguard army in Ma'anshan to observe the situation in Diaoyu City up close.
This observatory is still some distance away from the Diaoyu City. It is beyond the range of the trebuchets in the Diaoyu City, and there is no need to worry about being attacked by the trebuchets in the city. Therefore, Meng Ge Khan went upstairs with confidence, followed by only a few people holding weapons.
Shield Guard.
What Meng Gehan didn't know was that when he arrived at the observation tower in Anshan, Xia Ping'an was already standing on the fortress in the northwest corner of Diaoyu City, holding a single piece polished by a craftsman who made kouji.
binoculars, looking in the direction of Ma'anshan Observation Tower with a serious face, and quickly issued orders one after another.
The sandbags and planks in front of the window facing Ma'anshan were being quickly removed from the fort below the fort. The dark muzzles of the five thunderbolt cannons, with their red coats removed, were pointed directly at the observation tower on Ma'anshan.
Everyone who controls the Thunderbolt Cannon is busy. The gunners have been idle for several months, waiting for this moment to calibrate the cannon, charge the powder, and insert Thunderbolt shells, just waiting for Xia Ping'an's order.
In fact, there is no need to calibrate, because when Xia Pingan was training gunners before, he used the land around Diaoyu City as training targets. The gunners were already familiar with how to aim at each target and how to hit it accurately.
The observation tower on Ma'an Mountain is so high above the ground that it is the best target for the thunderbolt cannon.
Meng Ge Khan finally climbed to the observation deck and looked towards Diaoyu City.
In the monocular telescope in Xia Pingan's hand, Meng Ge Khan's face has been clearly visible!
"Wang Jian, the guard of Diaoyu City, his deputy Zhang Jue, and all the soldiers who guard Diaoyu City are here to break God's whip today!" Seeing Meng Ge Khan on the observation deck, Xia Ping'an said to himself and raised his hand.
The child swung downwards fiercely.
"Fire." Zhang Jue, standing next to Xia Pingan, shouted sharply.
boom.
The five blasts of the thunder cannon sounded like one blast, and the smoke of gunpowder suddenly rose from several forts, like a thunderclap in the Diaoyu City.
The observation tower built on a hill in Ma'anshan was hit by five thunderbolt bullets at almost the same time. The mast on the tower collapsed suddenly, and the high-speed flying iron pieces and projectiles swept across the entire observation tower. The tower was suddenly covered with flesh and blood.
fly.
Xia Ping'an saw a ball of blood sprouting from Meng Ge Khan's neck and chest, and his whole body was hit by thunderbolts and fell from the observation deck.
The other Mongolian generals who followed Mongke Khan up to the observation tower were all killed and injured, and fell down.
No one in the Mongolian army expected that there were thunder cannons hidden in Diaoyu City, and that the observation tower was actually within the range of the thunder cannons in Diaoyu City.
Meng Ge Khan died the moment he fell from the observation tower.
Chapter completed!
